Are you talking to/about me? If so, what do you base this on? Lazy typing?

And it's not a slogan either. What do you think democracy, in theory, is based on? On the souvereign citizens ruling themselves - we created and abide by the monopoly of power, we are governing us through it. In practice, it's kinda corrupt, but hey, it could be worse too, that's for sure, and exemplified all over the world.

Some people wish it was just a slogan though, I'll give you that.



Yes, I'm talking to you. For all the flag-waving about freedom and rights, you still haven't mastered sexism. Another thing I find funny is that when called on it, the excuse is always 'lazy typing' or 'that's just a term' or 'you know what I mean' or similar, never 'mea culpa', which shows a profound lack of understanding of issues of sexism.

Thing is, if you don't include women when talking about your ideology, it shows that there are some pretty fundamental issues about rights that you're not accounting for, so why should the rest of your commentary not be doubted?
